Summary:
- A newly discovered comet, named Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF), is currently visible in the night sky and is expected to reach its closest point to Earth on February 1, 2023.
- The comet is believed to have originated from the Oort Cloud, a region of icy objects at the edge of the Solar System, and is making its first pass through the inner Solar System in over 50,000 years.
